For your tattoo entertainment… brought to you by me… Cephalopod mollusc of the order Octopoda. Or… a way cool, fun, and groovy octopussy / water / floral / dealio. Either way you want to describe this tattoo I’d make sure you somehow include a word like ‘rad’ or ‘cool’, or ‘awesome’, and maybe even ‘tight’ or something of that sort.
So this tattoo was kinda posted here a long time ago.
You just can’t really see it in the picture because I didn’t focus on it. Needed to post a legit pic too.
If you are interested in the other image I am talking about… Here it is.

The basic idea, design elements, and the way the imagery is placed on the arm are all modeled around a fancy carved Brazilian walking stick. You can actually look way back in the page photos HERE and see the tattoo as just line work if you like. The client always had color in mind though, but didn’t know exactly how she wished to go about it. It took a bit of discussion to figure it out. We ended up going with a turquoise inspired background because we thought it would be pretty, have brilliance, and at the same time keep with a feeling of nature and primitiveness in the tattoo. Turned out to be the right choice for sure as I love the overall look of the finished piece.

Little Chocobo riding Moogle on a chest tattoo. Final Fantasy series if you are unfamiliar. Guessing it is about half a year old is in this pic which is about perfect timing to get a picture as they have done pretty much all the changing they will do (from fresh) at that point. Client supplied her own art.

Fun and artistically stylized ponies with custom “cutie marks.” One of my favorite tattoos simply because of cute factor.
Go ahead… sing the song…
“My Little Pony, My Little Pony
Aaaaaaaaaaaah
My Little Pony
I used to wonder what friendship could be
Until you all shared its magic with me!”
